Arsenal are very keen on Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney, who they rate highly.
Arsenal only have a limited budget this summer, and they have made Celtic’s Tierney one of their top targets.
However, the Bhoys are demanding big money for their key asset, which makes the transfer difficult for Arsenal.
The Gunners cannot afford to bring in both Tierney and William Saliba, who are their first choice targets, as things stand.
Arsenal had hoped to sell Ozil, which would have helped them raise funds to meet Celtic’s asking price for Tierney.
But it seems that no other teams are interested in signing the German, which means he is set to stay at the Emirates.
Arsenal’s buying power is significantly reduced as a result of having Ozil with them, as his wages are so vast.
And getting Tierney from Celtic is looking very complicated now, as Unai Emery is working with so little funds this summer.
